The Special Advisory Committee was held for a total of ten times in which the external experts verified and evaluated the handling of data at the Z Holdings Group including LINE Corporation from security and governance standpoints. In addition, a Technology Verification Subcommittee consisting of external experts in the field of cybersecurity was established. Through a total of 15 meetings, the Subcommittee supported the Special Advisory Committee from a technical perspective. After these verifications and evaluations, the Special Advisory Committee submitted a Final Report to Z Holdings in October 2021, and the entire Group has worked to strengthen and improve its data governance system based on this Final Report. <br/><br/> LY Corporation will succeed the Group-wide data governance initiatives undertaken by Z Holdings and promote the reinforcement of the data governance system.
